6 Wind Release: Air Bullets

User: Nagato Uzumaki

Konan, Nagato and Yahiko

Wind Release: Air Bullets is a technique that is used by Nagato. Nagato was one of the strongest individuals in Naruto, thanks to the power of the Rinnegan that he held. Using the power of the Air Bullets, Nagato could wipe out a huge army all by himself and this is certainly an impressive ability.

This is a technique that can surely kill in one shot, especially when taking into consideration the fact that these attacks are largely invisible.

5 Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves

User: Danzo Shimura

Vacuum Serial Waves is an ability utilized by Danzo and it is certainly very dangerous. In fact, the power of this technique is such that it was even able to cut through Sasuke's humanoid Susanoo.

Any technique that can cut through the Susano can also cut through a human and that in itself goes to prove that this ability can kill in one shot.

4 Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet

User: Shukaku

Shukaku The Sand Spirit In His Released Form In Naruto

Drilling Air Bullet is a technique utilized by Shukaku, the One Tail. Fans already know that the Tailed Beasts far surpass humans in terms of chakra levels, and also destructive powers. Of course, there are some who possessed powers comparable to the Tailed Beasts themselves, however, on average, the Tailed Beasts possessed far too much strength.

Shukaku specifically has access to Wind Release as well as Earth Release, and when it comes to his wind release powers, they are tremendous. Shukaku can shoot massive bullets from his mouth and these wind bullets are strong enough to take down even giant figures, such as Gamabunta. Against regular humans, they can absolutely obliterate them within the blink of an eye, which just goes to show the destructive power of this amazing technique.

3 Wind Release: Rasenshuriken

Naruto using the Rasenshuriken

Wind Release: Rasenshuriken is a technique developed by Naruto Uzumaki. This is a completed version of Rasengan and basically the final version of the task that Minato wanted to accomplish. It sees the Rasengan being infused with wind-natured chakra, and as a result, it ends up developing sharp blades. When Naruto infuses wind into his Rasengan, it ends up growing in size tremendously. This Rasenshuriken, when hurled at the enemies, is capable of doing great damage.

In fact, once it hits the enemy, it does damage on a cellular level, completely destroying their chakra circulatory system and dealing so many micro cuts that even the Sharingan cannot calculate them all. This technique proved to be so strong that Kakuzu, a strong fighter, was utterly destroyed, along with multiple hearts, with so many cuts that he couldn't even react to a single one. Undoubtedly, this is one of the strongest wind release techniques in the series.

2 Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken

User: Naruto Uzumaki

Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken

Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken is just like a regular Rasenshuriken, however, much more dangerous. This technique sees Naruto utilize the Tailed Beast Ball as the base for the Rasenshuriken, and then infuse the Wind Release chakra into it, allowing it to have the sharp blades of a regular Rasenshuriken.

This ability, when hurled at the target, causes devastating damage. This technique can destroy entire armies in one go, and, as a result, it is quite evident that it is an ability that can kill in one go. It is easily one of Naruto's strongest abilities and also one that doesn't get talked about enough, despite its incredibly destructive nature.

Not only does it possess the incredible cutting power of the Rasenshuriken, but it also has the destructive power of the Tailed Beast Bomb, making it doubly special.

1 Six Paths: Ultra Big Ball Rasenshuriken

User: Naruto Uzumaki

Naruto's Ultimate Attack

Six Paths: Ultra Big Ball Rasenshuriken is Naruto's strongest technique. Naruto can only utilize this ability after accumulating a lot of sage energy. Once he does that, he then produces two giant Rasenshuriken that are infused with Six Paths chakra.

These Rasenshuriken are absolutely massive, and strong enough to stop Sasuke's Indra's Arrow. It goes without saying that no one can survive being hit by a technique this powerful and that it can kill in one hit. Undoubtedly, it is one of Naruto's strongest jutsu, if not the strongest.
